RYP’s first design, the HEST Original was a surprisingly simple but strong survival knife from adventurer Robert Young Pelton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Hostile Environment Survival Tool featured paper Micarta handles, multi-purpose design, large hollowed out and balanced handle, pry bar, wire breaker and managed to be both light and strong.

Designing a knife based on what is needed not what the latest marketing trend is. Using the right steel for each application, creating classic designs, testing, tweaking, testing some more and only after RYP has used, abused, passed around and beat up his designs do we go into production. To make sure the execution matches the concept we only work with the world’s finest knife makers in America and Northern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what did we learn in ten years? Keep it strong, keep it simple, keep it light, elegant and balanced.

The first thing you notice is how light and balanced the blade is. The other takeaway is how perfectly your fingers flow into the carefully designed contoured grip in both normal and reverse grip. The pommel is unique in that allows complete thumb coverage in combatives and the rounded spine delivers comfort over hours of hard use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo honor our customers, we have selected a number of very limited run products to celebrate that philosophy. Combining our classic 6 inch design for SERE instructors and candidates with the classic Micarta handle and hand-crafted leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by adventurer Robert Young Pelton, the HEST 6 splits the difference between a combative tool and a hard use knife.
